Ian Thibodeau

Ford Motor Co. Reporter

I cover Ford Motor Co. and the automotive industry for The Detroit News. I'm a lifelong resident of Metro Detroit who studied journalism at The University of Detroit Mercy. I've worked at newspapers and publications around the Midwest, and since starting work in Detroit, my passion has been documenting movement, growth and change in the city and state through retail, real estate, business and development. In 2017, that grew to include covering rapidly changing auto companies, and the impact those major organizations have on the United States, the state of Michigan and metro Detroit.
